A historic freeze killed at least 21 people in Texas and surrounding states last week and left millions without power in the Lone Star State.
An Arctic air mass descended over much of the country, pushing temperatures to historic lows last week. Dallas broke a record set in 1903 of minus 1 degree.
Last week President Joe Biden assured governors of hard-hit states that the federal government “stands ready to offer any emergency resources needed.”
But that was a lie.
Joe Biden denied statewide assistance to Texas on Monday, despite the record snow and freezing temperatures across the state.
HotAir reported:
Governor Greg Abbott requested statewide designation for major disaster relief from President Biden. Biden denied the statewide designation and only approved some counties in Texas, not all of them. Abbott asked for a declaration that covered the entire state because the winter storm knocked out power and heat throughout the state, as well as leaving millions of Texans without water.
Texas has 254 counties. Biden approved only 77 counties for disaster relief. The governor calls it an important first step but it falls far short of what Texas officials requested. Biden signed the declaration late Friday. It covers much of the Texas population. The counties covered include the cities of Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin. The assistance can include grants for temporary housing, home repairs, and low-cost loans.
No real reason was given for the snub from the White House or from FEMA. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki mentioned that Biden wants to focus on the hardest hit areas. Now state officials will have to gather data from the counties that were left out.
Well now Texas you voted blue and now it match’s the color of your skin. Remember this in 2024. True Texans should run the liberal left out of the state before the get a foothold.
Get your facts straight! Texas is still red.
The headline belies the fact that Biden DID approve relief! If a severe storm hit Long Island in New York do you think relief should be sent to Buffalo too? Even if Cuomo requested it?? Get serious! Not only did Biden offer and approve relief, which the “former guy” would have denied to a blue state, AOC even raised considerable funds for Texas. Just sayin’. Report the “facts” straight!
You are correct in that Biden issue SOME relief in Texas.
It just seems funny to me that he only offered the larger cities in Texas the relief. Amazing how that coincides with Biden and the Democrat’s largest support base in the state! Didn’t the people outside those cities get hit too? Aren’t those outlying areas the last to get their power restored?
Do you seriously believe that Biden isn’t intentional punishing those areas he perceives as Republican strongholds?
Get real dude!
Amen Kevin! You said it right!
100 % right.
Only Democratic strongholds got help.
You only get what you voted for.
Hahahahahaha
I am on a farm in north Texas and it was -6 here. That hitler obiden only gave help to demorat strongholds, not those of us who were hardest hit in the country – rolling blackouts while trying to keep chickens, dogs, cattle alive via some shelter heat lamps, etc and this piece of sheet ignores us. Wish that old bastard and his nazis had been here tied up naked outside.
AOC, are you kidding me? She was sent to make a show. The dems are going to take over, if you don’t wake up. You are a piece of work Mr. The “former guy”. Say it with me, The former President of the United States, Mr. Donald Trump. The old fool you and your fellow dumb a–es elected will get to you before they are done.
Merle: Demoshits have assisted the globalist elite in taking over the last bastion of freedom in this world.
They were able to buy intimidate or blackmail enough politicians (on both sides) to STEAL this election!!
The last TRUE election was held in 2016. And since Demoshits never got over it and cannot win a FAIR election there was no “election” in 2020. What was conducted was a Deep State SELECTION!!! All the signs were present for the Deep State’s setting up a “Fifth Reich” I say this because even though I was young I remember the events that occurred in Nazi Germany no elections just the Gestapo herding and executing people if they didn’t comply with the Wehrmacht!! What I am witnessing now is nearly a carbon copy of what I experienced in Nazi Germany meaning we are fast becoming Nazi America!! Consider the SEWER-RAT party conducting five year siege on the oval office endless investigations culminating in a SHAMPEACHMENT followed by a FABRICATED Pandemic to allow for FRAUDULENT voting via mail in ballots which cannot be authenticated! Then another SHAMPEACHMENT (and if convicted prohibiting Trump from future running for public office. This entire process REEKS with Deep State and foreign involvement!! There will NEVER be another election of the CSA (Communist States of America) the Globalist Elite have been successful at rigging elections by BUYING/INTIMIDATING/COERCING & BLACKMAILING politicians and Judges. America is NO LONGER “the land of the free and home of the brave”! America is now the Land OWNED by the Deep State Elite and home of SHEEP who have CAPITULATED!!!
Biden probably only approved relief to area’s that voted BLUE!!!
With the temps we had, the whole STATE turned blue…… for almost a week. Now we are back RED! Galveston County had 70% of the people with out power for a good part of that week. He probably won’t give us relief because we voted red.
Yep.. Assistance to DEMOCHIT voters warranted “relief” but the remaining Texas citizenry can go to hell as far as the demonic party is concerned. Meanwhile, fling open the border to flood Texas with ILLEGAL immigrants in time for the next hijacked “selection”.
Your head is still stuck up your butt as is the case with all dems!
I refer to that condition as CCRIS Chronic Cranial Rectal Inversion Syndrome!!!
Trump woulda been down there dude…you better get your fact straight…..he woulda issued aid and he proved that he didnt care about it bieng red or blue when he wanted to send help during the real riots from this summer……it was the blue state govenors (liberal socialists) that did not want help, in fact calling the riots “mostly peaceful”…
It’s a state wide emergency – coincidentally, he only approved federal emergency declaration for areas that have large left-leaning populations – corruption runs deep and long with China Joe Bribem
Interesting-only the areas that voted for him
If the storm covered the entire state of New York, then I would say Buffalo would be entitled to help also. By the way, President Trump offered help to whatever state needed it. He even sent a ship hospital to New York, which they asked for but didn’t utilize.
You claim “The headline belies the fact that Biden DID approve relief!”
The headline states: “Denies Statewide Major Disaster Declaration”
Are you an illiterate, or do you just play one on the internet?
This report mentions the cities of Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio as having received Federal Aid for storm damage, along with 77 counties. Strange as it may seem, each of these cities reside in counties that voted “Blue” in 2020. This article stated that of Texas’s 254 counties, Biden granted only 77 counties Federal aid. In checking the political map of Texas, one can see a similarity of the 77 counties granted Federal Aid and the number of counties in Texas that voted “Blue” in 2020.
Fact:
Houston, Texas is in a blue county
San Antonio, Texas is in a blue county
Dallas, Texas is in a blue county
Austin, Texas is in a blue county
Know What, After Denying Texas Help for the Storms , I think now Texas will start Drilling for Oil, Gas, and if they have Coal , all this will HAPPEN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I ALSO THINK THAT TEXAS WILL PUT THEIR NATIONAL GUARD ON FULL ALERT TO KEEP TEXAS OIL, PRODUCTION ON FULL CAPACITY. Thanks JOE, You Just made Texas A way to move Forward. MAGA
BOBBY ~!~
Your as dumb as your reply wow I guess there are really stupid people out there and your on top of the list
The sad part is, the corrupt liar in Chief just signed what was put in front of him. Does anyone really believe he any idea that he knew what was in those E.O.’s.
not sure where AOC GOT THE MONEY ??? BUT IT WAS WEIRD THAT MS LEE SHOWED UP ON THE SAME PLANE AS AOC THOUGH ???
And The Great State Of TEXAS is always going to be RED
Constitutional conservatives MUST “rally & unite” to defeat the demonic party hellbent on America’s destruction. New group of law enforcement participants … protectamericanow.com started by sheriffs & officers FED UP with demonic party’s attitude of lawlessness regarding everything unless it SERVES the demonic party. What’s really required is cleaning up ELECTIONS (removal of dead from vote rolls, illegals, multiple vote persons & so on). Our biggest voice is now gone from the airwaves. If we are to rise to the challenge… it’s up to US.
still a large amount evidently voted blue – next time w/all illegal immagrants getting to vote (which no doubt Biden/K will do) – it will be blue! I hope all that voted for him remember all the BS Biden is doing.
Yes, and they will survive, and will be red. Regardless of Biden.
The denial for emergency relief for all of Texas just shows what a cowardly, pathetic, revengeful person this old coot is. But that is just par for the course with the demonazi party of perverts.
Texas is solid Red & deeply Republican.
Biden’s advisers are so disconnected from reality. They think this historic cold will held them persuade Texans that climate change is a real phenomenon. They don’t understand that what’s really happening is Texans are acute students of the hard failures of Green Energy. In a crisis wind and solar are totally unreliable and hyper expensive. Makes you wonder about the advantages of green energy on a good day when there’s no trouble. Yes, wind power is VERY, VERY expensive. In Maryland, our Governor experimented with mandatory wind power to build a market. My own household electricity bills skyrocketed to $1,000 per month just for lights & basic stuff. No air conditioning. $1,000 per month EVERY month. That lasted one year. Maryland quietly killed the program & never mentioned wind power again.
Wind-idiot power
A two megawatt wind mill contains 260 tons of steel, requiring 170 tons of coking coal and 300 tons of of iron ore, all mined, transported and produced by hydrocarbon spewing processes and machinery.
A windmill could spin until it falls apart and never produce as much energy as was invested in building it. This does not factor the cost of erecting and maintenance involved in normal operation!
Global warming/climate change alarmists pretend to care about the world while at the same time wanting to rule it.
In 1970 Democrats said, ” We are entering into an ice age, we’re all going to die” In 1980 Democrats said, ” We are having acid rain we’re all going to die” In 1990 Democrats said, ” We are losing the ozone layer, we’re all going to die” In 2000 Democrats said, “Global Warming is melting the glaciers, we’re all going to die” In 2010’s Democrats said, ”Climate Change in 12 years we’re all going to die”
SHUT UP ALREADY!!!
The lie of Climate Change is that one little burp from Mt. Etna has put more than 10,000 times more CO2 into the atmosphere than mankind has in our entire existence on this planet but don’t worry there is a scam in the works to tax you for your micro- minuscule footprint. In essence the real agenda of Climate Change Warriors is about Snake Oil Salesmen aka Politicians taxing you!! “Follow the Money”
LIEberals support for Global Warming – This year’s record cold proves Global Warming trends in the sratratomagtubular layer caused fornilogical trelbnops,which in turn pushed cold-causing, disgronification waves downward into the yesweremakingallthisupmosphere
Global Warming?? Sheesh – Do you want to know how cold it is? It’s colder than a conservatives heart towards a welfare mother holding a Gucci purse buying lobster tail with a food stamp EBT card!
Could not have said it better…..
There was a wind farm just completed in north Missouri. They left roads in shambles, they are noisy and now when I look to the north at night it is a sea of blinking red lights. They had a minimum of 100 trucks hauling gravel every day using 200 gallon of diesel a day each at a minimum plus cranes, skid steers, dozers and track loaders. Must be ok to destroy the environment to save it. Then the company that built it sold it the day it was complete and took their obligation to land owners with them. Wind farms are a scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wind power in it’s present design configuration will never be viable. It was designed by idiots. Everything about it goes against the laws of physics. However, it can be done and successfully if the people designing it have any brains at all. The fools that came up with what we see in every state that has tried it is a disaster waiting to happen. Wind power only works when the wind blows no matter how hard. Today’s designs cannot be allowed to operate when the wind blows more than 15 miles per hour. Higher than that they must be locked down. How stupid is that? There are countries using a design that can generate power at the slowest speeds which are more common and the fastest wind speeds without crashing to the ground. It was written up in a Popular Science magazine back in the early 1960’s. It is so successful and unobtrusive that it can be used in ones own backyard. Think about how that can be done. It does exist and it makes perfect sense when you see it.
I agree with you totally about popular science back in the ’60s talking about wind power. My question is where are our flying cars they said we would have them by now haha.
Texas is RED Paul. THAT’S why Biduns Pervitis didn’t send them the emergency funds they needed.
Texas is RED Paul. THAT’S why Bidins Pervitis didn’t send them the emergency funds they needed.
Texas is a red state. Probably not for long if people keep moving there!
Texas should impose some kind of mandatory IQ test before being allowed to migrate there. If you are one of these overly educated elitist liberals that can’t do anything but “indoctrinate” our youth with their liberal nonsense they should be rejected at the border. If they drive a Prius reject them at the border. If they previously lived in a blue state, reject them at the border.
Texas may still be red but only because of(and thank you to) the west Texas counties that vote Conservative. This administration has excluded those and any other county that doesn’t lean blue. Sending the funds to primarily to those counties they have a strong foothold or getting close to flipping. For the record, anyone who believes Donald J Trump would have excluded a single county in the state, you’re not only wrong but you are also sporting an I. Q. just below bean dip. Every county was affected by the storm and Joe B’s group is so far designated a piddly 5 million $. That’s $71,428 per county. Do the math on that.
Just the way communism works. A select few make it big and the rest can go to H E L L.
Obama did the same thing a few years ago after Hurricane Harvey. Democrat politicians hate Texas because of our independence; they are afraid of us. However, with all the illegal voting, dead people voting, election fraud,and all the libtards who move here to enjoy our freedoms and then vote to turn Texas into the swamp the fled, I am afraid it won’t be long before we really are a blue state.
I’m waiting for the day when Texas sends a huge armed militia to the border to defend it against a foreign invasion. As a free and sovereign state and member of the republic of states it has every right to defend it’s border. The land belongs to Texans not the federal government thanks to the Tenth Amendment.
Richard: Personally, I think if Cuomo requested it, biden would give it to him. In this case all biden would have had to do is check with the weather services. The entire state weather map showed the power failure, and freezing temps. There is no way that biden didn’t know the help was needed for the entire state.
And, please get your facts straight, the ‘former’ president went to the aid of many states that voted blue.
Just look at the relief he sent for the wildfires to the entire west coast. You cannot possibly say any of those states are Red, and not blue. This get so old. If you’re going to give out info, at least do your research.
Texas, get off that idiot of an idea called global warming or whatever and get the oil and natural gas going. The green new deal is a joke and you just found out why!
Texas isn’t blue, it isn’t red, it’s conservative.
Example of Democrat unity. Only help areas of the state that voted mostly Democrat. That a way boys unite us the good ol fashion Liberal Democrat hater way.
Lying, Obfuscation, Deflection, Intimidation and Fear (you can add Fraud) are tools LIEberals use to promote their agenda and confuse suckers who believe these fabrications No lie is too egregious or action so outrageous to promote their agenda.
Anyone not knowing this has been living in a different universe
Wow, you leave me speechless w/ your technologic knowledge, sarcasm and I suspect an unmeasurable amount of frustration being ruled by ruthless and globalists. Keep writing, I say Amen to all you wrote.
Biden is shunning Texas because it is a red state. This is what will happen during any future disasters. Dems look at everything in terms of politics and not what the people of the USA need.
Didn’t that sorry ass excuse for a human being just get done bragging during his hard to believe campaign that he was going to be the president for “all the people”? Hardly a month later and he forgot what he promised. Alzheimer’s ? No he suffers some a disease even worse democRATitis.
The main symptom is the inability to tell the truth or even know what the truth is. What a pathetic excuse for a actual humane being.
Hard to imagine there are so many stupid people out there who still believe Biden is good after what he’s already done to this country. The real president Trump would have gone to Texas and help would have been delivered a lot sooner. Wake up America Biden is out to destroy us.
He is just finishing the job that Obama started and expected Hildbitch to finish but someone interfered. Thank you DJT !!!
Obama is still pulling joeblow’s strings. Vision hasn’t changed from obam’s administration. Destroy freedom for those that don’t bow down to their idiotic beliefs. Flood this great nation with illegal immigrants and give them voting rights for the dumbacatics. God Bless Texas. If you’ve not heard this song, look it up on u tube and listen to it.
While Texas remains red it is turning blue due to the Democrats’ immigration policies, open borders and white flight from California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut to Texas. The immigrants from these states are now trying to impose their failed socialist policies in Texas and have successfully managed to turn the largest cities in Texas blue, such as Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin. Texas Republicans better wake up. Texas has been blue before and it could happen again. Parents should closely monitor the liberal curriculums being taught in Texas colleges and universities as well as the potential introduction of such bigotry in K through 12 schools.
He can’t help Texas, he’s giving all those Millions to his buddies that let their cities be taken over and burned by Demo-Rat Supporters ! Also known as Peaceful Demonstrations.
Biden only approved the areas in Texas that voted Democratic in the election and left out all the other folks who had to suffer through that forzen time. First Biden stopped the Pipeline putting so many out of work and also stopping the oil from flowing which led to the electric facilities shutting down causing so many people to lost power and freeze to death! Meanwhile this city areas that voted Democrat remained all warm with power and declarations of special help while refusing to help those rural and urban areas that voted for Trump. Talk about dirty politics!
It is the right of the Governor to call out the National Guard to repel invasion of your border, the Guard is your militia it is there to protect Texas from invasion foreign or domestic and that includes tyranny from the Federal Government!
Tyrants in charge, take care of your own and learn how to survive
I see Biden only is giving relief to Democrat leaning Cities and Counties. I thought he was supposed to be all the peoples “President”. Where is his so called trying to Reunite the whole country? Is this a big joke or what.
As Walter would say 3,000,000 sperm and this is the one that got thru.
So it looks as if Joke Biden gave disaster relief to those places who voted for him and basically told the rest to go screw themselves. I remembering hearing the brain dead president saying he would be president to all people no matter who he voted for. He seems to have forgot that. It’s going to be a long 4 years and we will be lucky if we aren’t in civil war thanks to this clown in chief named Joke Biden. God help US!
Oh, come on people, O’biden just forgot what he said. It wasn’t on his teleprompter, even though he can’t keep up with that either. He is just looking for the next woman to get close enough to smell her hair.
